Why does my camera take foggy pics at night?

my camera takes pics fine during the day, but takes foggy pics at night.

I had the same problem, and the problem was the iPhone custom case I added to the back of my phone. Pictures taken during daylight were ok, but at night they were all foggy. I had to take off custom casing from the back because it was reflecting flash light (some cases not thin enough) and made pictures that way. So the case was the problem, try removing it and take some pics without it, if you have one on the back of your phone of course. hope it helps! good luck!

  • Why does my camera take foggy pics in nighttime/dark environments?

    during the day, my camera works fine.  at night, the pics come out foggy.  is it defected?

    You really need to define "foggy" better. Are you photos fine during the day just because the lighting is brighter? if so then you need more lighting at night, obviously.  However, it is very easy with phone cameras to put fingerprints on the little piece of glass that covers the lens on the phone.  Because the sensor is so small, a finger print is comparitively large to the sensor/pixel ratio.  Hence, each time you pull out your phone you really should check the glass is clean before using...in reallity it is quicker just to clean it each time rather than spend time checking if it is clean. So just do it.  If however, it is a matter of scene brightness and not foggyness, then two issues need addressing. Firstly, how far away is your subject?  if it is within 1.5 meters (4-5ft) then you can use the flash supplied with the phone, any further away than that and phone flashes are pointless and only serve to confuse the phone into taking poor photos.  In these instances you would be better to disable the phone flash and let the sensor compensate for the lack of light automatically, which it will do, if everything else is set to automatic.  By this I specifically mean the ISO settings.  You can check/set these manually.  Make sure the ISO is set to the highest setting (ISO 800 or greater).  This will produce more 'grain' in the photo but this is unavoidable and can even affect top end SLR's so don't feel bad. Secondly, if it is too dark to take photos then it is too dark to take photos - this is when 'reciproicity failure' sets in. Nothing can be done about this on a phone camera and is the reason people purchase SLR's, which can get around this using the 'Bulb' setting in the shutter speed dial.  Remember, you only get what you pay for and there is a reason why SLR's cost thousands.  It is because they produce better photos in more difficult situations than phones cameras can.  So don't expect huge things from a camera phone.

  • Why does my phone take red pics in low light

    When I use my flash in low light it looks red why is tht so

    OK.  Most cameras have difficulty with those lighting conditions, so it's not just your phone.  I won't go into all the technical details about sensor sizes and such, but suffice it to say that the camera packed into the iPhone has to be compromised a bit so that it can fit into the phone.  The results you see are simply due to the physics of the iPhone's camera. 
    As a general matter, the iPhone camera needs a lot of light to take good pictures.  The camera will take good pictures, but it needs more light than you are providing.

  • Why does the camera take grainy pictures

    I have two iPads of the same ipads. 
    I noticed one of them takes grainy pictures and videos and the others quality is great.

    I have not yet set them side by side.  But pretty much so.  One of them gets a poor
    picture in sunny conditions,  they are both models with retina display. 
    The only difference is one
    has more memory and a CDMA modem.

  • Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved?

    Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved to it?

    If it's really a couple dozen pictures, I would expect it should be under 100 MB.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the used space is still so high.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

  • Why does apple tv take hours to record

    Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?

    Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
    If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.
    720P requires 6mbps for instant streaming
    1080P requires 8mbps
    You can switch to SD in the settings
    To check your connection go to speedtest.net

    why does my camera get purple streaks and then freezes

    My friend and I both work in a hospital and we go in out of signal continuously through out the day.  Our problem is so bad that by mid afternoon our phone batteries are down to 20% as the phone is continuously searching for signal.  Im on EE and their only advice was to reset the network settings, thats fine when you only have to do it once but Im doing it up to 20 times in 1 day.  It makes me hate my iphone for the first time in 5 years.

    Are you getting a four language screen telling you to restart?  That's a kernel panic.   That can often happen due to RAM or data corruption issues.   See my FAQ*:

  • Why does the keyboard take over and type c's all across the search box (no hands involved)?

    Why does the keyboard take over and type c's across the search box (no hands involved)?

    There are only three possibilities. Either a dangling hand hitting the c key, or if you have a bluetooth keyboard connected and something is pressing a key, or you have some bad harware.  Eliminate the first two, and if you still have the problem, take it in for service or replacement

  • Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

    Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
    Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
    Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

    You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
    If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
    Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
    If on a computer:
    I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.
